Welcome to my personal portal dedicated to Linux/GNU software.
I have created these pages as a way of keeping organized
important resources about Linux/GNU. However, I hope that you
can also find these pages useful. Please send me your comments

My Linux History

Although I am not sure when was the first time I used Linux, I
definitely had it installed on my computer in the beginning of
the 1999 year. The beginning was not easy because of my
complete lack of experience with UNIX-like operating systems,
missing hardware drivers and my very limited understanding of
English written texts at the time. In spite of these obstacles,
Linux operating system influenced me so much that during the
autumn 2001, I have completely switched to Linux on all of my
computers and do not regret a thing. Well, maybe that I should
have switched sooner :). The first Linux distribution I tried
was RedHat (probably ver. 5.0). I have been using and managing
various versions of RedHat since. Meanwhile, I have also tested
Suse Linux, Debian and several small distributions. In spring
2003, a review of source based distribution called Sorcerer
caught my eye and I almost immediately decided to compile my
own operating system. Ever since, I am fascinated by the total
control and ease of administration provided by this ingenious
distribution (follow this link if you want to learn
more about Sorcerer) so I have installed it on all of my
computers. Apart from managing Linux OS on several workstations
and servers (x86 architecture), I have installed Linux on
several laptops.
